Radio France International (June 18) published a Chinese-language article which referred to
an article published by the "China Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Magazine" under
the CDIC recently entitled "Abandoning Exquisite Egoism". The article criticized "Prime
Minister Li" generating a lot of speculation. Published on June 1, it didn’t attract much attention
at first, but then went viral and has since been deleted, leaving only screenshots and quoted
snippets. Many WeChat accounts and WeChat groups that disseminated this article were also
censored. The article, RFI said, which cites two negative examples, one is the prime minister
of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si, and the other is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu,
got straight to the point: "Exquisite egoism refers to making good use of superbly realistic
acting skills and high-sounding reasons to carefully embellish and subtly cover up the nature
of selfishness and greed."
(Comment: There is speculation that the target of the article is Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. It
is strange that the CDIC issued such an article in such a sensitive period.)
